Chapter 290 Song Ruyan is back
Chu Ruohan shook her head, turned around and walked to the desk, tapping the table lightly with her fingertips.
"It can't be anyone in the mansion. Besides Gu Junze, the only people who know that I like to eat chestnut cakes are a few close relatives in the family."
"Could it be that..." Yuling hesitated to speak.
"Could it be something?" Chu Ruohan stared at her, "Just tell me."
"Could it be that the Madam has spies around her?" Yuling lowered her voice, "Or... His Royal Highness Prince Su already knew something about the Young Madam?"
Allen Chu frowned even deeper, "Not likely."
It's really confusing.
"I feel that the way His Royal Highness Prince Su looks at the young lady gives me a very familiar feeling."
Chu Ruohan pondered for a moment, "With his status, it's really unnecessary for him to get entangled with me, an 'ordinary official's wife'."
Yuling asked carefully, "How does the young lady plan to deal with this?"
"Let's wait and see what happens."
Chu Ruohan walked to the desk and picked up a piece of letter. "The court is in turmoil right now, so we need to act with caution."
"What if His Royal Highness Prince Su comes again?"
"Don't panic."
Chu Ruohan put the letter down, her expression calm. "It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. Since he has made his stance clear, that actually gives us something to be wary of."
Yuling nodded, and then said worriedly: "Young Madam will arrange for some people to come in."
"Don't be too deliberate, there are guards outside."
Chu Ruohan smiled faintly, "On the contrary, it will arouse suspicion. At least it is safe to stay here. Let Qin Fang secretly send more people to keep an eye on the movements of Prince Su's Mansion."
"Yes, young lady."
Chu Ruohan suddenly asked, "By the way, is there any news from the battlefield today?"
Mentioning Gu Junze.
"Not yet, Madam. Don't worry, the Crown Prince is wise and brave. He will definitely resolve the war between the two countries and return safely."
"Yeah." Chu Ruohan gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes, "I hope he is safe."
Yuling looked at Chu Ruohan and said carefully, "Young Madam, I feel like you've been working too hard lately, and it's not good for your health."
"No problem," Chu Ruohan smiled slightly, "No one can lose this round."
Yuling suddenly thought of something and whispered, "I heard from the guards that someone in the court today wanted to investigate the Crown Prince's background, and there was a lot of commotion."
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Chu Ruohan's eyes. "Noble Concubine Zheng won't give up so easily. Prince Su came here today, I'm afraid he has other intentions."
"Then what should we do next?" Yuling asked nervously.
Chu Ruohan walked to the window, looked at the dark sky outside, and said softly: "It's time to make the next move..."
Chu Ruohan asked Yuling to go back and rest first.
The candlelight flickered.
Chu Ruohan leaned against the head of the bed, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the dark patterns on the brocade quilt, with no desire to sleep at all.
She gently stroked her belly with a gentle look in her eyes.
There was a very slight rustling sound outside the window.
Chu Ruohan's eyes suddenly became stern, and she immediately became alert, quietly clenching her hands on the quilt.
An agile black shadow suddenly flipped in through the window. Its movements were clean and neat, and it landed silently.
The man rushed straight to the table, picked up the teapot, and started drinking from the spout.
The "gulp gulp" sound is particularly clear in the quiet night.
"I'm dying of thirst."
Song Ruyan wiped her mouth and finally turned around.
Seeing her miserable appearance, Chu Ruohan's tense nerves relaxed and she shook her head helplessly.
"Are you back?"
Song Ruyan sat on the chair, picked up the chestnut cake on the table and stuffed it into her mouth, complaining incoherently.
"I'm not back."
"Didn't you send people to look for me everywhere?"
She raised an eyebrow with a sly smile.
"If you want me to work for you, the price is very high."
Chu Ruohan was amused by her, stood up from the bed and walked to her.
"When has this lady ever been short of money?"
She stretched out her finger and gently tapped Song Ruyan's forehead.
"You name the price."
The two smiled at each other, their tacit understanding evident without words.
Song Ruyan finished the last bite of snack and clapped her hands.
He walked straight to Chu Ruohan's bed, then fell back and lay on the bed in a big letter shape.
"I'm so tired, I'll sleep with you today."
She turned her head and looked at Chu Ruohan with sparkling eyes.
"That's perfect. Tell me in detail how you came back to life and how you ended up here."
Chu Ruohan looked at her dusty, wrinkled nightgown and her impolite attitude, and her forehead twitched.
"At least change into clean clothes before lying down!"
She reached out to pull Song Ruyan.
"No."
Song Ruyan rolled on the bed like a naughty child to avoid her hand.
"I haven't slept for two days. Let me lie down for a while."
Chu Ruohan looked at the obvious dark circles under her eyes, and finally softened her heart and stopped insisting.
"As you wish."
Song Ruyan is back, her safety is guaranteed, and many things will be much easier to do...
The next morning.
Jing'an Residence seems to be more lively than before.
Doctor Qian came on time with his medicine box to take Chu Ruohan's pulse and gave her some freshly prepared pregnancy-maintaining medicine.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw a woman dressed in tight clothes and looking heroic.
Doctor Qian paused and looked at Song Ruyan in front of him with some disbelief.
He even raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
Why does this woman look familiar?
Before he could figure it out, Song Ruyan strode over and slapped him on the shoulder without any hesitation.
The force was so strong that it almost caused the medicine bowl in Doctor Qian's hand to fall out.
"I know everything about your family."
She leaned closer and lowered her voice. "For the sake of our relationship, if you need anything, just tell me and I'll help you get revenge."
Doctor Qian was stunned by her sudden familiarity and "big words".
Especially the phrase "our relationship".
A faint blush appeared on his cheeks, and a hint of anticipation and nervousness flashed in his eyes.
"What, what's the relationship?"
Song Ruyan patted his shoulder again as a matter of course.
"Of course we are close friends!"
Doctor Qian: “…”
Doctor Qian's expression froze instantly and he sighed silently.
It is indeed difficult to expect Song Ruyan to understand his thoughts.
Chu Ruohan watched the interaction between the two and couldn't help laughing. She took the pregnancy-maintaining medicine handed to her by Doctor Qian and drank it in small sips.
The medicine is slightly bitter, but has a soothing taste.
Doctor Qian calmed himself down, collected his thoughts, and stepped forward to take Chu Ruohan's pulse.
Song Ruyan immediately came over, her head almost touching Dr. Qian's arm, blinking and chattering.
"How is she? Is she okay? I'm telling you, this baby in her belly is precious, and nothing can go wrong!"
